CAMP LEVELS OF PLAY

Comprehensive/All Skills Camp: (Co-ed: Ages 8 – 18 years old)  

Classes are programmed for three different proficiency levels: beginners, intermediates and advanced players — of all ages. Each student will be tested weekly and placed in a group of similar ability, and age. Beginners will be playing softball in just a few days; intermediates will improve all aspects of their game; and advanced players will sharpen their game to a competitive edge.

Elite Training and High School Sessions: (Co-ed: Ages 8 – 18 years old, High School for High School students only)

The elite training program is geared towards competitive level and ranked players looking to improve their field/game skills, learn winning strategies, and work on mental toughness. The high school session is provided for players currently on their high school team and wanting to move up the ladder or those planning on making the high school team.

Position Training:  LAX campers are also trained based on the position of play.  As some drills are “position specific,” this helps the camper concentrate on the skills used for that specific position.  For those campers who have not yet decided which position they prefer, Head Pros will discuss their options with them.
